I've heard the common info on CPF about the DBS being the better Aspheric. Just not so. The Tiablo has a better lens than the DBS Aspheric. Also compare the DBS to what the Tiablo lens is capable of with an equal LED. I actually get 1.400-1.405A at the tailcap with my Cheap 1.4A $1.60 drivers.
Here are Tiablo A9-Q5, DBS 1.2A-R2 (1SM), and Tiablo 1.4A-R2 mod.
The DBS is in between the two Tiablo's. (Not visble)
Here are some shots showing what the Tiablo can do if it had a newer R2 and was driven as hard as the DBS.
Q5 left, R2 right.
